I just moved a hen into an outside pen with her 1 week old chicks. First all seemed fine now the hen goes and pecks at them and they try to hide from her. Any advice?
This is the best I can do for now. Will have to wait till someone can hold the youngsters for me. The dark one is mainly black with a brown feather pattern. Please tell me they are girls :)
I will check into it as well. I did purchase Valbasen but the label is for sheep etc. How much do I give to the turkey (of course I will have to weigh her).
Just in case this happens to someone else, here is an update. The youngster is walking fine and no longer being picked on even though we did not separate them.
It is hot here in the upper 90's and temp is not an issue. Right now I pulled the duck out and have all the ducklings separate because I'm affraid she will hurt the little one. Can I just keep them separated and once they are fully feathered give them to the new home? The duck and the ducklings...
